Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-09-25

The latest drink, and the one that is
all the rage in Saratoga, is the "Phila-
delphia cooler" 1t was first made by
Bartender A. D. Kibbe, who has
mixed beverages at the United States
for fourteen years, but it can be got at
either of the three other first-class
bars. AS it is made of champagne,
and costs something like a dollar a
drink, it fifty represents the two main
characteristics of The season-cham-
pagne drinking and extravagaut pleas
ures. There never was SO much
money on tap at Saratoga as at pres
ent, and the interest taken in cham
pagne by the drinkers is phenomenal.
With the King OF the Dudes backing
one brand, Monsieur Lippa treating to
another, and private individual
rushing his favorite simply because he
believes it better than any other and
does not want the fact overlooked,
there has been enough wine opened
to float ship. The drink called the
Cooler is prepared by half filling two
glasses with cracked ice, putting in a
little mint and two Jumps of sugar,
pouring half pint of champagne on
top, and squeezing the mint with a
crusher or mixer until its essence per-
vades the champagne. After night
spent in drinking coolers, the average
dude can find his way to bed-if one
of the porters steers him correctly.

His Pride Took u Tumble.

1t was Il Western engineer who told
the following story of himself:
One day our train stopped at a
small station in Indiana, and l OBJ
served two green-looking countrymen
in "homespun" curiously inspecting
the locomotive and occasionally giving
vent to expressions of astonishment.
Finally one of them approached and
said:
stranger, are this ERE an injine ?"
Certainly. Did you ever see one
before"
"No, never seen one o. the critters
afore. Me an Bill coined down t. the
station purpose to see one. That's the
b'iler, amt it?"
Eyes, that is the boiler"
''What you call that place you're
in?"
s'This we call cab."
can this big wheel-what's this
iur?"
"That's the driving-wheel."
"That big thing on top l s'pose is
the chimley?"
Precisely"
"Be you the engineer what runs the
machine ?"
81 am" I replied, with self-com-
placency.
He eyed me closely for moment,
then turning to his companion, said !:
"Bill, it don't take much of man to
be engineer, do it ?"-[Youth's Com
panion.

paga encora ?" The entrepreneur con-
sented, and Dragonetti returned to the
platform and performed his solo a
second time. This was, however, the
only occasion on which he ever did SO.
Of course, the suppression of the
encore fiend could be easily accom-
plished by the artists themselves, but
there are many reasons beyond the
ken of the uninitiated that render il
most unlikely the majority of them
will Join in such crusade.
In the first place, it has become the
fashion to regard certain airs in ora
torios and operas, as we'll as detached
pieces, as stereotyped encores; and q
singer who fails to secure one in such
instances is often regarded as failure
Then the publisher of song finds
that its sale is greatly enhanced if il
is always encored when sung in pub,
lie. Frequently, too, the vanity of the
performer induces him to various
| devices, in order to secure the encore
he deems necessary to maintain his
position in popular estimation. There
| fore. we are frequently Mortified by ex-
amples of execrable taste designed to
WOO the ears of the public at large,
such as interpolated cadenzds or sus-
tanned note of great altitude and deaf
ening power at the close of song.
As long as this state of affairs is
accepted, SO Tong shall we be COM
PEELED to "assist' at the havoc wrought
by the repetition of portions of operas,
which delays the action and renders
the situation ridiculous, involving pos
sibly the resurrection of the singer, in
order to die a second time.
Young artists also entertain an alto
gether mistaken'idea as to the value
of encores, recalls, floral offerings, and
the other customary ceremonies at
tending their public appearances.
When the question is asked if they
made an artistic success, the reply is
too frequently to the effect that they
made the most extraordinary impress
sion, were compelled to reappear and
accept repeated encores, besides being
the recipients of flowers in profu-
sion. Such well-meant attentions
on the part of injudicious friends do
more to hopelessly wreck the young
artists at the very outset of their
career than can be well conceived.
The same plan is adopted both in the
case Of the worthy and the hopelessly
unworthy, and therefore such compli-
ments have no significance; and, in
the case of the former, the artistic in
stinct is apt to be blunted amid the
distracting influences of such unmer-
tied public demonstrations.
Encores are to be deprecated in
every instance. 1t is far more stimuli
ating to the. musical palate to enjoy
the remembrance of single par
formance of fine composition than
to suffer a feeling of over-repletion
consequent ON it's immediate repeti-
ton, which is a source of more or less
mental fatigue to both executants and
listeners.
A firm resistance to such demands
is also conducive to the advantage of
the artist, if rightfully regarded

EncOres.

The encore nuisance, thanks to the
! firmness displayed by certain promi-
nent artists. has been greatly abated
in England, but here in America it ap-
pears to be on the increase.
Nothing is more gratifying to an
artist than to receive the assurance of
the audience that his performance has
afforded satisfaction, and for this rea-
son the compliment of a recall is pc
culiarly acceptable. But it is alto
gether a different matter when he is
called upon with undeniable persist
ency to repeat an exacting solo, in
! volving, perhaps, much physical ex-
ertion. Moreover, he is perfectly
aware when complying with this un-
reasonable demand that the audience
will not display the same amount of
appreciation at the conclusion of his
repeated task as they have already
manifested, the interest on both sides
naturally having abated by the
heightened demands made on their
mental powers.
By such means, the artist is fatigued
and disappointed; and his sensitive
organization receives a shock, slight it
may be, but nevertheless harmful to
his artistic vitality.
A custom has arisen of substituting
some other composition instead of re-
peating the work encored. This is a
decidly Objectionable practice, and,
besides, implies that the artist accepts
the demand for a farther display of
his own personal abilities rather than
as the expression of desire to hear
again the composition he has just in
terpreted.
Viewed commercially, it is also un-
just to the artist. He receives a GER
tain fee for specified work and, as a
reward for fulfilling his task satisfac-
tori!y, he is asked to repeat it without
additional payment for so doing. The
principle certainly will not apply to
other cases. For instance. no wine
merchant would appreciate the COM
pliment of being asked to sunnlv a
second basket OF Mumm's Extra Dry
gratis, because the former consign-
ment just consumed was 30 entirely
to the buyers taste. Nor would a
painter, sculptor, or poet duplicate
one of his productions without extra
charge, simply because the originals
had proved so highly acceptable to
their patrons.
Dragonetti (the greatest contrabas-
sist the world has ever known) was
inexorable in his refusal to accept an
encore; bnt it is related that on
one occasion, after the public had
insisted-vainly, as usual-on repe-
tition of one of his soloss and were
still wildly applauding, he explained
to the manager in his own
peculiar cosmopolitan language,

travel to other lands in pursuit of the
victims, plotting and scheming to get
them within their craftily created
tolls. Even their employers regard
them with suspicion, and those they
most benefit are often those who re-
gard them with the greatest con-
tempt and disgust. In the reign Of
Louis XVIII. the Due Decazes was
once attacked, as head of the Partisan
police, by member of the Chamber
of Deputies, who pointed out as dis
graceful to his department and the
Government the vile characters he
employed as spies for detecting crime.
The Due replied sarcastically: "Show
me the honest men who will under
take their duties and will promise to
employ them !' The retort was a
crusher, to which the Deputy had no
reply, for spies were then regarded as
absolute State necessities.
During the last French Empire you
could not venture even in any private
assembly and utter safely any political
opinion, if they chanced to be antago-
nistic to the Government, and it is

PROFESSIONAL SPIES.
A Calling That Was Considered
Infamous by the Anciemts.

Although the changes wrought by
time and social progress has elevated
into responsibility many professions
anciently regarded as infamous, and
converted into mere baseless preju-
dices, objections once by no means
without foundation, some are still
honestly and wholesomely detested.
That of spy, for instance. Tuvolv-
ing ideas of deceit, lying and treach-
cry, with which it is but too often as
sociated, it is at least tolerated as a
disagreeable necessity. No man or
woman like to be called spy, and to
be regarded as professional spy is to
be infamous all the world over.
The purpose of the spy is not that
of the detective, who is secret and
watchful, but not necessarily treach-
erous. A genuine spy makes it his
heartless and cruel business to win
confidence only to betray ito enjoy
hospitality as guest, that he may
bring down ruin upon his host and
misery upon his family. He processes
friendship to those he is anxious to
disgrace. and affection where his only
intentions are those of cold blooded
malignity. What could be more vile
or base?
And yet spies of the very worst
type have existed in all classes OF
Society and in all times. In Russia to
this day there are men asd women OF
the highest rank who are not ashamed
to act as spies, secretly engaged by
the chiefs of police and others who do
such dirty work as amateurs merely
to serve political ends, these OF the
Government or those of the secret
assassins, called Nihilists.
While the Bourbons were on the
French throne, and all through the
rcigns Of Napoleon the Great and Ma
poIeon the Little, spies abounded. In

Removing a Serious Obstructien
GentlV.


Dynamite and giant powder might answer
admirably to remove distractions from He'll
Gate in East River, New York, but explosive
measures in medication are ever attended
with disastrous consequences. For instance,
the bowels cannot be violently drenched with
safety, nor is there the slightest neee sity
for SO doing. On the contrary, it is most
unwise. None but the purblind adherents
of antiquated theories in medicine advise
or sanction such a course. To weaken the
intestines-the effect of drastic purgation-
is to compromise the health of the entire
system. With Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
on the other hand, the bowels are relaxed,
not by cOnvulsion OF nature approximat-
ing to an eruption of Mt. POpocatapetl, but
gradually, benefcially, without wrenching
or drenching. The liver and stomach, as
well as the bowels, are toned and benefited
by it.
